Shimano XTR BR-M9020 Trail Disc Brake

Technical terrain requires complete confidence in your equipment. At high speeds, nothing instills more confidence than knowing your brakes are ready and able to deliver unparalleled control and reliability in any situation. Shimano XTR brakes are arguably the best performing hydraulic disc brakes on the market, offered in two flavors: Trail and Race. The Race model is the no-frills, lightweight version while this Trail model offers a more adjustability and trail-tuned performance with only a minor weight penalty.

To provide highly adjustable, high-powered braking performance with no compromise, Shimano designed the XTR Trail M9020 hydraulic disc brakes. The integration of Servo-Wave brake-boosting technology into an XTR M9020 Trail brake generates gobs of lightweight stopping power (125 percent of the previous XTR benchmark, to be exact) that can be precisely rolled on and off with single-finger effort-giving you a better grip on the bar and ultimately better control of your ride.

Shimano was the first in the industry with full ceramic caliper pistons, but that's not all the set XTR braking performance apart from the rest. The new XTR Trail M9020 brakes also feature a newly redesigned carbon/alloy lever for improved ergonomics, insulated pistons and radiator-fin-backed brake pads to shed performance-sapping heat, allowing the XTR M9020 brakes to maintain cool, quiet performance under extreme braking. These brakes not only save weight, but stay cool, delivering excellent, predictable brake perfromance.

Shimano XTR M9020 Lever features

The new XTR Trail M9020 lever sports an all-new ergonomic design and is equipped with Servo-Wave, allowing riders to precisely control 25 percent more power with highly-adjustable and responsive one-finger braking.

The forged M9020 caliper delivers a balance of light weight and power that resists performance-sapping heat better than ever before thanks to an industry-first full-ceramic piston and optional Ice Technology cooling-finned brake pads.

These brakes are awesome. Hitting the steep, tall downhills in Pisgah pushed my older XTRs to their limits. These handle the heat great, the cooling fins pull a lot of heat away from the rotors. These were easy to install, same as most hydraulic brakes. Would definitely recommend

I am an older woman who was able to install these brakes on my own (I had no bike mechanic experience). I cut the cable myself and had to bleed the brakes twice until I got it right! Working fantastic and I am really proud of myself. Local bike shop not up to par.

I have been a Magura fan for years due to their great modulation, high stopping power and light weight but the new Xtr brakes did not disappoint. While stopping power is not as good on the extreme side, the modulation gives you unbelievable control. This brakeset would be perfect if Shimano could shave some weight.

BEST ANSWER:Good question. Shimano lists these as having 125% power over Non-Servo Wave systems, e.g. the Race brakes. Having ridden both the Race and Trail versions, I would definitely opt for the Trail version as the Servo-Wave does add quite a bit more stopping "oomph" for a pretty low weight penalty.

BEST ANSWER:The 160 is fine, and the 185 will work. Shimano is based on a 180 rotor, so in order to have the pads contact the rotor in the correct position, you will need to add some washers to space out the brake calipers. Be sure to add just enough washers so that the brake pads don't contact the rotor on the brake arms and enjoy.

will the XTR 9020s be compatilable with my Giant Anthem 29, i.e. direct swap. I have 185 front and 160 rear rotors?Thanks

BEST ANSWER:I believe they are - as long as you have the proper adapter that will allow the brake to accept a 185mm rotor you should be good to go. almost half off is a great deal. xtr brakes are awesome, cant go wrong.
